Advise or updates

[bigr]

Planning on going to onalaska ice fishing next weds. I know a few of you have gone to that area in the last couple of weeks. Any advise or updates on the ice conditions between now and weds would be appreciated. Been many years since my last trip up there and it was always on first ice. I've been doing alot of on line research of reports and the fishing areas but any first hand info would be great. Thanks Big R

Wallin was just there well about 45 miles south of there. and at that time it was -0 but he also said it was going to rain, you should drop him a line

We never went north of Ferryville. They got alot of snow up there. Lots of iffy and bad ice. Sorry I can't help but I would Google some of the bait shops and see what they can tell you. Do not go on any water with a current. I joined Wisconsin ice fishing on Facebook and befriended a few of there guys for info. Lots of open water, seen alot of boats fishing below the dams. Spud bar for sure. We went with a guide on a airboat, $150 a day but a time and safe ice. Bill'sOutdoorNetwork by Desoto. Besafe and wish you a good trip

Good luck and be safe Big R!!  I was on 11inches of Ice Feb. 17-19th in Cadillac Michigan.  That was my last trip out for the year.

I was in onalaska last week. 14 " around Airport lights. I did read about some big cracks forming. I would call shafers baitshop on the north end of the lake. He checks the ice himself and has great reports. And good bait too.

Thanks Wallin. Watching closely. I will make a firm decision on Monday. I'll be calling Shafers and checking other outlets.

Be careful if you're still going. I just read about a 4 wheeler going through. A person on foot went through too. I did read it was in a known bad area. Stay safe

Still going as of now but will get a last update on weds. We'll stay in know areas with the group of others.

Trip has been canceled. Poor ice conditions and a big snow storm moving in Thursday. Next year I hope. Thanks everyone for input. Ice stuff will go into storage tonight. See you all on the soft water side.

From what I have read, you are making the right call.
